Hi! We are visitmardaloop and today we’re taking over The City of Calgary’s account. With over 150 trendy shops, boutiques and restaurants, #MardaLoop is a walkable, street-level shopping & dining district in Southwest Calgary.⁣ ⁣ The name Marda Loop comes from two significant South Calgary landmarks. The word “Marda” comes from the Marda Theatre (1953-1988), which was founded by Mark and Mada Jenkins. “Marda” was created by the merging of the founder’s names. The word “Loop” comes from a trolley car that made rounds through early Calgary’s downtown and outlying areas. It travelled as far as 34th Avenue and 20th Street, before “looping” back to the City Centre.⁣ ⁣ It wasn’t long before the area became known as Marda Loop and, though both the trolley and the theatre are long gone, the name and the history are still an important part of the area.⁣ ⁣ Have you visited Marda Loop? #BuyLocalYYC⁣ _⁣ _⁣ _⁣ #cityofcalgary #calgary #yyc #yycnow #yycliving #yycbuzz #calgarybuzz #calgaryalberta #c...
